Follow on Google News | Rethinking Manufacturing Innovation : A Methodology-based ApproachBy: Infologic, Inc. The latest United States Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing states that "The acceleration of innovation for advanced manufacturing requires bridging a number of gaps in the present U.S. innovation system, particularly the gap between research & development (R&D) activities and the deployment of technological innovations in domestic production of goods." “Due to lack of resources, the small and medium manufacturing enterprises even face more challenges,” This Agenda consists of three inter-related methodologies: One of the important components of this Agenda is a workforce development syllabus, called eSTEM, which will engage the Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) professionals to innovate by teaching them the 21st century innovation enabling skills. These skills include innovation models, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and strategies to leverage the U.S. innovation ecosystem. These methodologies also incorporate well-established technology management tools. For example : (a) Aerospace & Defense sector's Manufacturing Readiness Analysis (MRA) which measures the maturity of emerging technologies as they mature from R&D to Production, and (b) Gartner Group's Technology Hype Cycle analysis which assists enterprises to develop emerging technology road maps. About Company Infologic, Inc., based in Southern California, focuses exclusively on Innovation Management thru research, consultancy and emerging technology integration.
